Question 4 • World History: Issues and Patterns

Jaime is writing a research paper on whether to revise the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Which question is the best example of an effective research question?

Answer
A
How many laws exist that address issues of immigration?
B
How has the law affected immigration in the United States?
C
What is the history of immigration in the United States?
D
What immigration laws are popular in other countries?

Explanation

An effective research question should focus on the specific law Jaime is considering revising and invite analysis. “How has the law affected immigration in the United States?” directly examines the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 and its effects. The other questions are either too broad or shift attention away from that law.
